Here are some photos of a recent trip where I travelled to Korinthos just outside Athens in June. It was for an EU Project partners meeting for our Web2.0 ERC project. Korinthos is a really nice place. It was very warm there that time of year – one day reached a maximum temperature of 38 degrees! Fortunately we had time to travel to the site of ancient Korinthos which was of great interest to me as my first degree is in Classical Civilisation.

I have recently returned from the International Conference on EUropean Transnational Education (20th – 21st October) which was held in the beautiful city of Salamanca in Spain. The conference was actually held in one of the many colleges associated with the University of Salamanca so it was good to have a brief experience of the university life at Spain’s oldest university.
There were many different streams to this conference but the central underlying theme related to the use and application of information technologies within education. I was fortunate enough to present a key note speech at the conference. I will provide details of this in a future post.
In addition to providing my key note talk I was also involved in chairing the Web2.0 special session which involved both myself and my fellow EU Project partners disscussing the various project deliverables of our project. The prevalent theme to emerge from the session was that the Web2.0 platform that we had developed had been successfully engaged by teachers during the pilot study and that our community of practice on Facebook continues to grow.
